Kaapzicht Skraalhans Pinotage 2024

R196.00

Skraalhans is a long gangly weed found in our vineyards, often growing taller than the vines themselves. Loosely translated as lean stray, the name represents this restrained, fresh and elegant new style of Pinotage. A hands-off approach has allowed the vineyards to shine through, giving the wine a profound sense of place.

This wine is dominated by red fruits with classic cherry and mulberry notes. With a vibrant palate and sweet tannins, this wine has a plush and bright finish.

Description

South Africa’s own grape, Pinotage, has many styles, with the slightly lighter styles gaining popularity of late. At Wine Menu we gravitate towards the serious, yet elegant styles. Where the true character of Pinotage is not lost in the pursuit of drinkability.

Danie Steytler managed to bring these worlds together very successfully. Warm spiced plums, black pepper and aniseed comes together in a fresh yet full mouthfeel. The wine has a fine tannin grip with a fresh long finish. This is definitely a style of Pinotage that will please many.
